Making Recruiting Great Again

The Board dates are placeholders. The board could have met today, or tomorrow, or next week. It’s up to the community to decide. You can contact the CNRC Fleet Processor or Officer Recruiter and of course they’ll probably “confirm” that the board met today.

Thanks. I'm not sure how this happened, given that Navy Esq. was selected in the last board - and his scores are lower than mine. (No offense intended to Navy Esq. I'm very happy for him that he got in.)

Assuming that I can get an O-5 interview or higher by April, then I'll probably apply yet again for Navy Intel, though I have little hope for the 3rd time around. I'll have to apply for other options as well. Hopefully something will work out.

I definitely don’t know my results yet (I contacted my recruiter yesterday and it is taking me a significant amount of effort to not contact him again) but I definitely agree with Sirjerald517. Law_to_830, I recommend going with three letter agencies because you will start with more pay because of your educational background and work experience overall. Best of wishes everyone!

I'm really sorry to hear that. Looking at your background, I know you will be able to succeed in whatever area you get into. Don't lose heart. Another military branch or another branch of government would still be a way to serve our country and also be a fulfilling career.

You have to remember, this is one of the most competitive boards out there. For one of you, an applicant who has a JD there's probably several more applying. IWC boards prefer STEM over non-STEM degrees and if you don't have a STEM degree, you better have a very high GPA to make up for it.

Thanks. I can always keep trying for the Navy, as well as applying for the other branches and for the agencies. Hopefully, someone will pick me up eventually. My options are pretty limited due to my age and my poor choice of degree (law).

Andrew_F:
Congrats to you, though. I knew you would get in, if anyone did. Here's hoping you have a stellar career.

I'm aware. There's nothing I can do about any of that, though. I can't time travel to change my GPA (which is already above average), nor can I get another degree. I have a family to provide for and law school debt to pay off.
